It is not a type of snake leather. It is, however, commonly used for snake leather. More often called a wart snake, it is found in Indonesia and Singapore.

There are no snakes present on the islands of Hawaii...except Zoo or otherwise which are carefully contained so they do not get loose, they always check bags coming into Hawaii for snakes and such because a snake would violently disturb the ecosystem. It's a federal offense to bring a snake into Hawaii, even if you do it accidentally you will get a several thousand dollar fine. Edit: Some of the people below saying Hawaii has snakes are wrong...it even says on the Hawaii Pamphlet that the airlines give you that if you are found bringing a snake (which are not native to Hawaii) that you will be sent back to the mainland and fined and possibly be sent to jail.

Mainly Ceylon, India and Indonesia.
Acrochordidae is a family of three species of primitive xenophidian snakes from the Australian and Indonesian regions. All are entirely aquatic, lacking the broad belly-scales found in most other snakes and possessing dorsally located eyes. Their most notable feature is their skin and scales. The skin is loose and baggy, giving the impression of being several sizes too large for the snake, and the scales, rather than overlapping, are tiny pyramidal projections that lead to the common names of Wart snakes or File snakes.
In nature, these snakes lurk at the bottom of rivers and streams (though some inhabit estuaries), and wait for fish to approach, which they catch by slamming their coils together. The rough scales allow them to hold the fish, even through the fish's mucus coating. Species of this family range from 2 to 8 feet long.
These animals are rapidly becoming rare as their hides are used for handbags and leather (stripped of scales, of course). Numerous attempts have been made by both zoos and private reptile collectors to keep them, but in all cases, they have been reluctant to feed and prone to skin infections.
